Roadmap reference

MASTER_BUILD_PROMPT §Phase 7 — Launch Sequence (step 6–7).

Problem

All three API services will be ready to launch when the operator turns 18 and links PayPal to RapidAPI (#19, #44). But the marketing copy (Hacker News post, Reddit posts, Product Hunt profile, email waitlist message) needs to be drafted and reviewed before launch day so the operator can ship everything in one session.

There is currently no issue tracking this preparation work, and the agent can write all of it right now without any infrastructure dependencies.

What to do

Create docs/launch-announcement.md containing ready-to-copy text for each channel:

1. Hacker News — Show HN post

Title: Show HN: I built 3 APIs on free Census/EPA data — ZIP enrichment, Holidays, Air Quality
Body: (150–300 words describing what was built, the tech stack, data sources, and RapidAPI links)

2. Reddit posts (r/webdev, r/SideProject, r/learnprogramming)

  • One short post per subreddit (~200 words each) with tailored framing for that audience
  • Include working code example using YOUR API (copy from docs-site blog posts)

3. Indie Hackers milestone post

  • Project intro, MRR = $0 → target, stack, lessons learned building on Kubernetes

4. Product Hunt listing

  • Tagline (60 chars max)
  • Description (260 chars max)
  • First comment (maker note, ~300 words)
  • Gallery/screenshot URLs (can be placeholder paths)

5. Email waitlist message

  • Subject line
  • Body (3–4 paragraphs): what was built, how to try the free tier, upgrade CTA)

Acceptance criteria

  • docs/launch-announcement.md committed to the repo with all 5 sections above
  • Each section is copy-paste ready with no placeholders left (except actual RapidAPI URLs, which will be available after #44)
  • Agent marks each section DRAFT until #44/RapidAPI URLs are available, then READY

## Roadmap reference MASTER_BUILD_PROMPT §Phase 7 — Launch Sequence (step 6–7). ## Problem All three API services will be ready to launch when the operator turns 18 and links PayPal to RapidAPI (#19, #44). But the marketing copy (Hacker News post, Reddit posts, Product Hunt profile, email waitlist message) needs to be drafted and reviewed *before* launch day so the operator can ship everything in one session. There is currently no issue tracking this preparation work, and the agent can write all of it right now without any infrastructure dependencies. ## What to do Create `docs/launch-announcement.md` containing ready-to-copy text for each channel: ### 1. Hacker News — Show HN post ``` Title: Show HN: I built 3 APIs on free Census/EPA data — ZIP enrichment, Holidays, Air Quality Body: (150–300 words describing what was built, the tech stack, data sources, and RapidAPI links) ``` ### 2. Reddit posts (r/webdev, r/SideProject, r/learnprogramming) - One short post per subreddit (~200 words each) with tailored framing for that audience - Include working code example using YOUR API (copy from docs-site blog posts) ### 3. Indie Hackers milestone post - Project intro, MRR = $0 → target, stack, lessons learned building on Kubernetes ### 4. Product Hunt listing - Tagline (60 chars max) - Description (260 chars max) - First comment (maker note, ~300 words) - Gallery/screenshot URLs (can be placeholder paths) ### 5.
